It was a rainy, winter night when Kabir saw her for the first time. A mysterious woman in that red dress seeking shelter came inside the restaurant he was busy working in—primarily the bar. Night after night, drink after drink, she comes back to the same spot. Hundreds of men try to speak with her daily, but she dismisses them. She’s always reading, always surrounded by books and booze. She’s not looking for love. He’s never met anyone like her before. He didn’t want to disturb her peace. And, he didn’t want to be her next reject. So, he decided to leave her books anonymously with notes in them. He just didn’t expect to get caught so soon. "Not your average love story." Two strangers on the same path. Survivors. Companions. They will be each other’s salvation. The Name of Red is the story of two strangers, two different personalities who meet on a winter, rainy night who challenge each other.
